I may be missing a few details but my wife has a Filipina RN friend who came on an EB2 which is different from EB3 since EB2 starts with a permanent residence green card on entry. She recently bought out her 3-year recruitment agency contract after 2 years and got hired direct with another hospital system. For EB2, it is a matter of how much can be saved to pay off the remaining part of the contract since immigration-wise, they already have a green card. If your friend already has her permanent resident green card, then she could have came on an EB2? Paying off a 2- or 3-year contract in 3 to 6 months is fairly rare unless she already had huge savings coming into the US.

Did you at least receive a biometrics appointment or biometrics reuse NOA? If you check your processing time for Tampa and get inquiry date? https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Depending on your field office and receipt date, you may be eligible to send an inquiry.
-
The consulate may have grounds for denial as they may expect tax transcripts for 2022, 2023, 2024 for I-134. Or you show your current income to exceed the required. Please post the outcome from the K1 Interview.
-
The joint sponsor still needs to file late and settle any taxes for 2024, and have the IRS tax transcript to be a joint sponsor. So even if you submit the I-129F before April 15, this year before the 2025 tax return is filed, the time to NOA2 is currently around 10 months, which is still enough time to file the 2025 tax return and download the tax transcript. So by K1 beneficiary interview time, the K1 petitioner and joint sponsor should include the 2023, 2024, 2025, tax transcripts as part of the I-134.

So around 2024 is when the traffic started to drop? -

@Syed Jamshed Ali First of all, you never asked a question to the VJ members to help you. Second, if your purpose is to ask NVC and the US consulate to restore your 1993 priority date, a VJ post does nothing to accomplish that. AI generated or not, not much may be done outside of hiring a lawyer.

Statistics and waiting times.

@Cacolina inputing "When is your receipt date" with Sep 17, 2025 https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ The earliest you can submit questions is October 23, 2026. -
NVC used to have a phone number. I would try to find the phone number to call NVC directly to address the issue ASAP because the case may get forwarded to the consulate fairly quickly. If the case does forward to the consulate in Manila, then you have to contact the US embassy in Manila to try to transfer your case to AIT-Taipei. When our case was at the NVC, we had to call the NVC phone number to get our TAI**** case number and invoice number so we could track our case at the CEAC visa status check site. Fortunately, NVC assigned and forwarded our case properly to AIT-Taipei. Double check your I-129F, Part2, if the K1 beneficiary mailing address listed is a Taiwan address or Philippines address?

@James-Celine @Edward and Jaycel Does the NVC case number start with TAI********? Is the K1 beneficiary currently in Taiwan? Has the case already been forwarded to the consulate, or is it still at NVC? Did NVC email you a copy of the marked-up I-129F?

EatBulaga replied to TomAye's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
@TomAye I don't believe I-129F asks for social media. But the DS-160 does ask for social media account(s). The K1 beneficiary could conceivably leave that field blank. The only posted stories I've seen regarding social media are that the case officers are looking for consistency or discrepancy to the case presented. For example, if the K1 fiancée is posting online the petitioner as hubby or wifey, it would invalidate the K1 visa since that would insinuate the couple is already married. Use some basic common sense, and as @Crazy Cat suggested, don't overanalyze with mental gymnastics. -

EatBulaga replied to Ashokanna's topic in US Citizenship Case Filing and Progress Reports
@kkeys @JD2 You can also look up VJ members self-reporting their N-400 Timelines. For Atlanta Field Office, only one reported approval from 2025-10 filing. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/citlist.php?op6=All&op7=Atlanta+GA&op1=6&op2=&op4=1&op5=5%2C10%2C11&cfl=0 And Norfolk has one reported approval from 2025-08 filing. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/citlist.php?op6=All&op7=Norfolk+VA&op1=6&op2=&op4=1&op5=5%2C10%2C11&cfl=0 So yes, I think the government shutdown has affected USCIS processing, because USCIS depends on other government agencies like the FBI or the State Department for reports, etc. -
Hello VJ admins, Go ahead and delete this if this is not appropriate. Since I've been a member from 2021, it seems that the traffic to this site has slowed down tremendously, or is it my imagination? The reason that I ask is that this site's traffic may reflect the current political climate on immigration?

@Ersen We sent our I-485 by FedEx and included a check, not ACH withdrawal. From receipt signature to check cashed was 3 days. I remembered a while back some posts complaining about direct withdrawal or credit card payment, so we chose to include a check. Did you have the receipt signature?

is USCIS now asking about proof of good character?
EatBulaga replied to steeeeve's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
@steeeeve "Good character" has always been a requirement since the Naturalization Act of 1790 and has remained through the updates to the Naturalization acts since then. It is up to USCIS and maybe the current political climate on how the requirement is enforced. I would prepare a few signed statements from different witnesses to the applicant's character by the time of the interview.
